CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK: There appears to be a less unfavourable feeling regarding monetary affairs, although nothing of Importance has occurred this morning to alter the aspect of the market. The suppliea have not been quite so abundant, but the rates nevertheless remain at 8 i and 9 per cent. for the negotiation of the best commercial paper. The bills of Messrs Newby, Carson, and Co., of Gr esham House are stated to have been returned by t heir b ankers. The house hes been largely engaged n th e East Indian trade, and the failure is supposed to have arisen in consequence of losses in connection With regular business transactions. baring the last few days there has been rather lees alteration in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugar was barely sustained at previous prices. Coffee has been in limited request ; while the operations in tea had been deferred until the I: a hlie sales, which take place this day. Rice, tallow and saltpetre, have b een neg l ecte d ; while has been in rather more demand, and, owing to the higher ra t e ru li ng at S t. Petersburg, quota tetions for both present and forward delivery have a llown an upward movement. The failure of Mr Frederick Frankenheim, who 'me recently been a large speculator in Stock Ea. ; chan ge securities, has been reported. The liabili lea are estimated at £lOO,OOO.

A constable—l saw the prisoner throw a pail of water over his wife and then threaten to knock her about with the pail. She was lying on the pavement, and when she got up, the prisoner made a rush at her. Mr Tyrwhitt—l shall order the prisoner to find two sure. ties in the sum of £2O each to ktep the peace for three months, and as he takes nothing home for his family this will not injure them. ROBB/NG A CONTRACTOR.---Wm, Cromwell, a labourer, in the employment of Mr Docura, an extensive contrac tor for gas and water works, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stealing some lead pipe, the property of his employer. It appears that the pipe being missed yesterday from the works going on in Wardour-strect, George Smith, a ganger in Mr Docura's employ, gave a piece to a constable, who traced that some lead had been sold at a marine store dealer's in St. Anne's-court, which corresponded with the piece; and on the marine store dealer, Mr Jelley, seeing the prisoner he at once recognised him as the man he had twice bought lead pipe of yesterday. The prisoner was then given into custody. Mr Robert Drummond, foreman to Mr Docura, said the works going on in Wardour-street wore for the Chartered Uas Company, and that Mr Docura had thirty gangs of men in different parts of London, and that they had had numerous robberies of a similar kind of late by workmen. It was the wish of Mr Docura, as an example to others, that the case should go to a jury. The taking away the pipe had caused a heavy claim for damage to bo sent in to Mr Docura. Mr Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner, who pleaded guilty, for two months with hard labour. THAMES. MR STANLEY ON THE FLRIOUS DRIVING NUISANCE —Thomas Stanley and Francis Maria Stanley, man and wife, were charged with being drunk, di sor d er ly, an d . . _ . . furious driving. Daniel Cole, a police-constable, No 287 K, said a large number of persons were collected in the Mile End-road, to witness the return of an amphibious vehicle, a boat rigged like a ship, and mounted on a carriage, called the Fairlop. The prisoners, a child, and two other persons were in a cart drawn by a high-spirited horse. The prisoner, Thomas Stanley was proceeding at the rate of thirteen or fourteen miles an hour, and put many persons in danger. He was mounted on horseback, and galloped after the cart. He called upon the male prisoner to go slower, but he continued at the same furious pace until he reached the Earl Grey public-house, where he stopped him. Both pri soners were intoxicated. The woman attempted to rescue her husband when he was in custody. The prisoners expressed their - r;gret for what had happened, and said they had been to Chigwell and lost their way. They followed another cart. Mr Bawdier, the second clerk, said the practice of furious driving in the Mile-end and Bow-roads was a dangerous nuisance. Mr Paget fined the male prisoner 10s., and discharged Mrs Stanley. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day, Market unchanged.

OUTRAGE IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—On Friday, in Wolverhampton, two men from Liverpool, who said their names were John O'Malley and Richard Han bury, and were travelling drapers, were each convicted of insulting a respectable married woman, the wife of Mr George Thompson, a clerk in the service of the Great Western Railway Company in Wolverhampton, and using obscene and blasphemous language in a railway train on that company's line on the previous night. Mr Spooner, the stipendiary magistrate, in addressing the prisoners, said:—" If it was not that I wish to spare the lady whom you have so grossly insulted from having to appear again in court and repeat her tale, your conduct has been so Lad that I would send you for trial.

The complainant was travel ling in the same carriage with the prisoners, whose con duct was the moat gross short of actual assault.—Shef ffeld Daily Telegraph CHLGROFORM ACCIDENTS.—The heart's action is stopped, and its right cavities engorged, not en account of the action of chloroform on the heart, but the action of chloroform on the lungs. If, in one hundred ex periments on dogs, rabbits, &c., poisoned by this agent, we find this remarkable fulness of the right cavities, an anterior or antecedent condition has been overlooked, via,, that this gorging of these cavities and the caves, is only a species of back current or remora, caused by the lungs (in a state of paralysis) not receiving or transmitting this blood. The heart, as a matter of every day observation in animals, so far from being narcotised, is dilated, and strives actively, but in vain, to push forward the large volumes of blood arriving through the veins of the system. The heart is decidedly ultimum snorsens in these cases—indeed, same good conti nental physiologists explain the deaths from chloroform by saying there is over-stimulation of the heart I This is probably not true, however. Comparing rather, one group of facts with other groups of facts (systematising our experi ence), the error of the hasty generalisation that paralysis of the heart is the cause of death, is now at once made obvious. These coincidences in practice illustrate best some of the popular errors of watching the pulse, adopting as infallible some sort of balloon or inhaler—giving heed to every idle fancy, but forgetting the cardinal point to watch the breathing. We now have learned to cure pneumonia without bleeding, which bleedings previously were considered the sins qua non remedy—but they were only the most striking or showy of a; series of remedies. We used to pass a red-hot iron round the hip joint in " morbus coxes," then set it straight and place it in a splint. Tho red-hot iron got the credit of the cure; it was the most feeling, showy, and important measure, but the undoubted cure is due rather to the splint and readjust ment of the parts, These.coincidences, that have so misled some practitioners, abound in practice and the entire theory of chloroform, or anaesthetics, and till they shall have been discountenanced no advance can be made.— Dr Kiad's Work en Chloroform, [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills.—Worn-out suf ferers may hope for relief from these purifying and strength ening pills atter physic and physicians have failed to effect a cure.

The wife—l am the mother of nine children. My husband threw a pail of water over me in front of Mr Squire's shop, in the Tottenham•court•road, where I hßve stood with a stall for years, and he also told Mr Squires that I had stolen some meat from his shop.

The catalogue of the Portraits already taken of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Prineess of Wales must, even now, we should imagine, be very considerable. Any one who sauntered into this last season's exhibition of paintings at the Royal Aca demy, will have recognised more than one notable addition to the number of those Portraits. But con spicuous among those latest attestations at once to the popularity and to the comelinees of the Heir to the Crown and his Fair young Bride, were the two remarkable pictures now on view at Mr. 11I'Lean's well-known studio in the Haymarket. They are incomparably to our mind the very finest among all the numerous portraits of their Royal Highnesses that have been yet produced. And they are so—they take thus (in cur estimation) prece dence among all other contemporary portaitures of the Prince and Princess of Wales—at once as works of art and es likenesses, as" counterfeit presentments" of the illustrious originals. They are the works, these two noble pictures, of a Danish artist, emi nent, since, in his native land, his unquestionable unquestionable powers, new we might say inevitably, t o ourselves. Now that we can see them in a thoughhn y e t , right doubtless, h s of name mnh e s better light, and from a more reasonable dis tance than when we first saw them—high up, at any rate, " above the line,"--in the Royal Academy more distinctly than we E we x r h e ib e it n io ah n ie w d e og t r o ec do ni t s h e en the manifold excel lence of Theodore Jensen's portraits of their Royal Highnesses—portraits, for those reasons (namely, the better light in which and the lesser altitude at 'shish they are here at length displayed to view) —portraits for these reasons, really and truly as we may say now for the first time exhibited, cer tainly for the first time satisfactorily exhibited, at Mr. M'Clears's in the Haymarket. The Prince's por trait, as here given, is the first that has ever been painted not only of himself bat of any illustrious personage whatever, arrayed in the magnificent robes of a knight of the,Order of the Star of India ! The delicate, exquisitely pale blue (almost whitish blue) silk robe of the last created order of knight. hood, depending from H.R.H.'s shoulders and trail ing along the dais upon which he stands forth to view in the easiest of natural attitude. Otherwise than in this distinguishing peculiarity of his cos tume, the Prince is arrayed, according to his favourite wont, in the full uniform of a British general officer—i.e. in scarlet and gold, with other soldierly and princely appurtenances. En circling the neck and pendant upon the bosom, the star and collar of the glorious order of Indian Knighthood already particularised. In the companion picture, the beautiful young Princess Alexandra, now Princess of Wales, destined (if life be but spared to herself and her royal husband) to become Queen Con sor t o f Eng lnd—in this companion oug picture of our already queenly-looking Princess, H.R.H. i s ro b e d i n Eng land—in a sumptuous velvet dress "deeply, darkly, be au tif u lly yn blue," that is, in other words, of the true Denmark blue in colour, the velvet texture of the robe and the dark richness of the colouring, Ici ng en hanced or set off by a wonderful rendericg— thanks to the skill of the artist's magical brush— a really wonderful rendering, in all its fairy webwork of clouds of gorgeous lace—lace here touched into the semblance of reality in all the mazes of its gossamer-like embroidery. Added to this, among the mere accessories to this sump tuous portraiture of the Princess, the artist has de- plated some amongst the many marvellous treasures, in the shape of jewellery lavished at the time of her bridal upon the lovely young Princess—presents from her Majesty, from his Royal Highness the Bridegroom, from one and another of the august per sonages in the two Royal families then about to be allied. A very synosure among coronets glittering resplendently in its pre-eminence among all these treasures ! Precious stones of the costliest value, and these disposed in the most elaborate and ex quisitely tasteful settings—around the neck,upon the bosom, pendant from the shoulder-knots, encircling the delicate fig ge rs, twinkling at the waist and about the stomacher ! Altogether, apart from these mere surroundings, adjuncts, or acces sories tolthe interest and splendour of these two noble portraits of their Royal Highnesses as painted by the hand of Theodore Jensen—these portraits, viewed simply and solely as portraits, command at once our interest and our lasting admi- ration for themselves. Simply as portraits, wirepeat, they are the very best that have yet been pro duced, Recognising which—as who can fail to recognise the fact, who looks upon them with a previous knowledge of the originals they are designed to represent —it cannot be a matter of surprise to learn that the list of subscribers to the e ngrav i ngs of th ese ttiweopictaresengravings n ow i n act i ve prepare e, is a list that grows from day to day with unaccustomed rapidity, even in the instance of State Portraits of the highest perbonages in the realm under the Sovereign. "ON MODERN COSTUME." —S uch is the title given to a brochure recently issued by E. Moses & Son, of the _Vineries. The great object of its gratuitous publica tion will at once suggest itself to the mind, but the author has so ingeniously blended the literary element with his commen d a ti o ns of the firm a n d i ts manufactures, that if it may not be pron ounced to rank amon g . the "literary curio sities of the age , at all events it i s an a d ver tising curio sity," even in the year '64, One thing is also certain, that the information conveyed in its pages-,which are elegantly wr itt e n, and well interspersed with li vely anecdote — cannot be had at any sho p g ratis . The es say comm ences with a no tice of the nationa l costumesof the Greeks, Romans, E g yptians, &c., and comes d own to our own time; the b es t s pecimens of which m a y , of course, be seen in the ver y back L I Z Mincries. The following brief extract s will convey an idea of the style and scope of the Pamphlet :—" Our modern fashions always run into extremes. At the beginning of this century an amorous swain was delighted to see the and now the waist of a young lady of 18 is as long as that level with her shoulders ; - -. 0 vast bonnet once pro jected so far in front that it was like peeping down a lane owfahisetrofghreiastl.agdrya lnodvmeaanalmmoas,st.onrrak came the little bonnet, like ifyo a a s t m ric a d llhead, threatening to fly away at the first puff of wind. Nov— the bonnet is brought more forward, loaded with ornaments, and raised like a helmet with a sharp peak. The fashions changed just as rapidly with our ancestors as they de with us." Again. "Sometimes the fashion that is obstinately independent of t c o ap s , e o e n th t e he face. Kings and Queens g i ves way before some trivial incident, or changes in a moment under some sudden impulse of dis a physician' s dis gust. Mrs Turner, widow, invented the yellow starched ruff; but as she had e hand in the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury, and went to the gallows with a yellow ruff round her neck, the fashion died with the in. ventress. Black satin was once in vogue; but, as Mrs ManniLg wore it on the gallows, no lady of fashion has worn it since." "On what apparent trifle s the whole cha racter of a costume —nay, the very character of the wearer --may depend, when good taste is wholly departed from I Fashion is regarded as the eole test of Propriety, If a coat collar be the eighth of an inch too broad or too narrow for the latest mode, or the two waist buttons on the back of the coat be too neighbourly or too distant, or if the coat be too swallow-tailed, or have too broad a termination, we laugh incontinently at the wearer. That 'which to-day is the perfection of propriety is to-morrow purely ludicrous. The greatest sage or hero becomes a pitiful ' Guy,' —a figure for a pantomime,—if his dress be out of fashion. How neces sary it is, then, to be careful in the choice of one's tailor I" Several apt anecdotes are given of Gentleman George IV. and Brummell, and the following from Lady Morgan— we don't know which to admire the most, the cutting sar casm of the lady or the use to which it has now been put : Lord Anglesea was once as great a toilet -model to the Princeß egent (afterwards George IV,), as Beau Brummell. Lady Morgan records an amusing conversation with his lordship. "Lord Anglesea," said her ladyship, " some ad mire you as Lord Lieutenant, some for y our heroi la ; s but I admire you for—" Lord A.—" For what, Lady Mor gan ? ' Lady M.—" For t he cut of your coat. Who is your tailor ?" In these days this question put to any remark ably well-dressed man is pretty sure to be met with but ono answer—which we leave to the sagacity of the reader. A very pleasant hall .hour, however, may be spent in the perusal of this brochure from the Minories, ACCIDENT AT A RAILWAY STATION.--.A fatal accident occurred at the Chelmsford station of the Great Eastern Railway yesterday morning. Mr. Frank Snell was walking along the line towards the station on the down side, with a small hamper in his hand, and when ho was a short distance from the station he was knocked down by the mail train from London, which is due at 10.15 a.m. The train passed over his body, mangling it in a shocking manner. The driver. on seeing Mr. Snell, blew his whistle, but the deceased, who was rather deaf, probably did not hear it. He was highly respected in the neigh bourhood. The British Archmological Association. IrsvercH, Aug. 8. The twenty-first annual congress of the British Archmological Association commenced this day at Ipswich. There was a great influx of archteolcgists by the various railway trains in the morning, and at three o'clock a numerous assemblage collected in the council chamber of the Town-hall, where the members of the association and visitors were re ceived by the mayor and corporation. Among those present were—Mr Tomline, M.P., Mr. Cobbold, M.P., Mr Pettigtew, Mr T. Wright, Mr Planche, Mr. Gordon Hills, Mr Levien, Mr G. R. Wright, Mr Previte, Mr Godwin, and many others of the leading members of the Association, besides a number of clergymen of the neighbour hood, and a large sprinkling of ladies. The MAYOR, in expressing his gratification at the visit of the Aram )logical Association t Ipswich, regretted they had not come some years earlier, to have preserved from destruction many of the ancient monuments of Ipswich, of which few now remained. The town formed, however, an ex cellent centre for excursions, and objects of great interest to the antiquary, and he hoped they would spend an agreeable and interesting week. It would be his endeavour and that of the corporation to give them every possible assistance. Lord Houghton, the president of the meeting last year at Leeds, was unable to attend, therefore the usual formality of resigning the chair to his Aucces sor was dispensed with. Mr PETTIGREW, as the oldest vice-president of the association, and one of its original founders, in troduced Mr Tomline, M.P., to the meeting as their president. He said the time was gone by when it was necessary to speak of the value of such asso ciations, as it was now generally admitted ; and the work they had accomplished in diffusing a taste for archwslogical researches, and in preserving the monuments of past times, had thrown much light on obscure parts of the history of the kingdom. He concluded by pointing out the special qualifications of Mr. Tom line for the office of their president, to which he had been elected. Mr. TOMLINE then took the chair, and, after wel coming the association to the ancient kingdom of East Anglia—where the Roman, the Saxon, and the Dine had left their footprints—he proceeded, in a very eloquent address, to laud archeeologieal pursuits, and to indicate some of the many advan tages that had accrued from the efforts of the asso ciation since their first meeting at Canterbury, 20 years ago; amongst which were the formation of associated local societies, which aided materially to advance the progress of knowledge. He took a comprehensive view of the connection of arches stogy with physical science, and of the mutual aid which they gave to each other. The rapid progress of knowledge at the present day, he observed, might be in a great degree attributed to the freedom of thought of the existing generation, for though our philosophers and men of science do not surpass even if they Equal, Plato or Galileo in intellectua capacity, they possessed the advantage of greater intellectual freedom. Mr. COBBOLD, M,P., moved, and Mr. GODWIN seconded, the thanks of the meeting to the presi dent for his able and eloquent address. The motion was carried by acclamation. The MAYOR directed the attention of the meeting to a relic of ancient times that was hanging at the top of the staircase of the Town-hall. It was a " ducking stool," into which the female scolds of Ipswich were formerly fastened, and dipped into water to cool their angry passions. The meeting was Shen brought to a close, and the company proceeded, under the guidance of Mr. Phipson, one of the local secretaries, to examine some of the antiquities of Ipswich, including the town library, an antique house, called " Sparrow's House," the churches, and the museum. In the evening there was a meeting at the Assembly Rooms for reading papers and discus• sions. The programme for the week comprises excursions every day to objects of interest in the neighbour hood. Tomorrow Bury St. Edmund's will be visited, where the members of the association will be re- ceived by the mayor and corporation at the Guild hall, and they will afterwards examine St. Mary's Church, the Norman Tower, St. James's Church, the Abbey ruins, Moyses Hall, and Abbot's Bridge. The excursion will be prolonged by visits to Hon. grave Hall, Risby, and Little Saxham, and or, the return to Ipswich there will be an evening meeting for reading papers and discussion. On Wednesday there is to be an excursion to Colchester, where the mayor and corporation will receive the are. ur ologists, who will find ample occupation in inspecting the various antiquities in the town. On Thursday th;re will be an excursion to Parham Hall and Chur;h, thence to Bruisyard Church, to Bennington Church, and to Framlingham, concluding with a visit to the _President at Orwell Park in the evening. The excursion for Friday includes Woodbridge, Ufford Church, Buttry Abbey, and Orford Cestle, On Saturday, Sue,lury, Long Melford, Lowenham, and Hadleigh, and Little Wenham Hall will be visited, and the congress will conclude with an evening meeting. The Loss of the Corinthian Steamer, OFFICIAL REPORT. To the Right Ron. the Lords of the Committee or Privy Council for T:ade. My Lords,—l have the honour to report that I have, in conjunction with Captain Harris and Baker, as Nautical Assessors, held an inquiry into the loss of the steamship Corinthian, off the coast of Portugal, on the 3d of July last. The Corinthian was an iron screw steamer, built at Greenock. in 1855, of 1,031 tons, registered at Liverpool, and owned by Mr James J. Bibby and others. She was commanded by Mr John Wheaton Goff, and had a crew of 32 hands. She sailed from Oporto, thoroughly equipped, on her home ward voyage on the 3d of July, at 1,45 p.m„ with a cargo of cattle, wine, fruits, wool, &o. She bad also onboard four passengers, two of whom were to be, if practicall'e, landed at Vienna. The weather was clear, with a &est: northerly wind and a strong westerly swell. After leaving Oporto the vessel was steered a N.N.W. course for from five to seven miles, when a course was shaped N. by E. B. along the coast towards Vienna. The speed of the ves sel is variously estimated at from five to six knots. At 5.40 P.m., according to the evidence, the Raven Rock is alleged to have been passed, but there is some little discrepancy in regard to the distance from :it. The Raven and the St. Bartholomew's Rocks form a dangerous group, front ing the coast, a little to the southward of the river Naive. Three-quarters of an hour . after passing the Raven Rock, and while pursuing the same course the vessel struck. The engines were kept going a-head, and cattle were shifted forward to bring the vessel on an even keel, and the injection hose having been choked, the engines necessarily stopped, and do not appear to have been subsequently moved, and every effort to get her off by making sail failed. About 2 a.m. he ship floated on the rise of the tide, and sank about an hour afterwards, dur ing which time the tide and the westerly swell appear to have drifted her towards the shore. No lives were lost, and some of the live stock were saved. The evidence of all the witnesses belonging to the vessel, who were before the court, tends to show that the Corinthian struck upon a danger not laid down upon any chart or mentioned in any sailing direc tions for the coast of Portugal. This conclusion is strongly confirmed by the testimony of Mr John A. Perry, Com. mender of the steamer Braganza, who on the day following went down to the wreck to render assistance. Leaving his own vessel at a distance of two and a half miles N. W., h e proceeded to the wreck, and found the masts' heads above water and a portion of her taffrail visible. Having left a lighter by her to save property, he returned. On reaching his own ship, which had been nearly stationary, he found that his mate had obtained irregular soundings, ranging from 4to 12 fathoms. He then proceeded to Vienna, and anchored outside the bar, and a pilot came on board, who informed him that he had, in all probability, passed over the same danger on which the Corinthian had grounded, but a rising tide and his light draught of water had saved him. From this it would appear that the danger in ques tion is well known to the local pilots. On the sth, while at anchor, Capt. Perry, who appears to be a very intelligent officer, teak bearings of the wreck, from which he has con structed a very neat chart, showing the precise position of the wreck where she now lies, and which I now append to this report for the information of your lordships. Upon this evidence I have felt myself justified in acquitting the master of the Corinthian of any default in the loss of his vessel, and have accordingly returned to him his certificate. In doing so I have deemed it my duty to point out to him that, in the opinion of myself and of my assessors, he navi gated bis ship too near the land in the vicinity of the St. Bartholomew Shoals; and having failed to take any bear ings when the vessel was stranded upon this dangerous rock, its true position is left to this moment very doubtful. —I have, &c., _ _ .

The inauguration of the statue erected to the memory of the late Prince Consort, patron of the institution, took place to-day, with the great'st eclat, in the pounds of the Asylum, near the Old Kent. road. The assemblage was large and distinguished, but had the weather been more favourable there would save been a very large addition to the number present. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales arrived, with the usual punctuality, at the hour at which the interesting ceremony had been fixed to take place, and was received with the utmost demonstrations of respect—the ladies waiving their handkerchiefs and the military bands in attendance playing the national anthem. The statue was afterwards unveiled, and an address ap propriate to the occasion having been presented, His ROYAL RTGHNESS said it gave him the greatest pleasure to attend there that day, but that feeling of plea sure was much heightened by the knowledge that his late revered father took the greatest interest in the prosperity and welfare of this noble institution. It would always be a pleasure to him to lend his aid in furthering their praise worthy and laudable endeavours ; and he had to thank them sincerely for the kind feelings they had expressed towards the Queen, the Princess of Wales, and his infant son. His Royal Highness delivered his short but expressive speech in the most hearty manner, and having for a few minutes looked earnestly upon the statue of his late father, congratulated the gentlemen who had taken a prominent part in the day's proceedings, and shortly afterwards re-en tered his carriage and returned to Marlborough House.
